• [after Dan has made up with his parents] 

  Dan Fielding : Hey listen, everybody, after work what say we go out and get some real food?

  Dan Fielding : Yeah, I know this 24-hour Creole place over on Lexington. They got chicken feet.

  Dan Fielding : Yes, I eat chicken feet. And I *like* it.

• Harry Stone : Mr. and Mrs. Elmore, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to poke my nose into other people's business.

  [Dan nods uncomfortably] 

  Bob Elmore : We sold everything decent that we had to give him some pocket money for college. But he did all the rest hisself, with the scholarships, odd jobs, school...
